Philosophy:

Allison’s treatment philosophy is based on the belief that a thorough assessment creates the foundation of a successful treatment plan. Allison deeply understands that the transition into motherhood is a significant life event with many things to learn along the way. In Allison’s person and professional experience, she has found that education can go a long way in easing this transition and therefore her treatments include an educational component as well as manual therapy techniques and therapeutic exercise. Her goal is to meet clients where they are – whether that be non-pregnancy, pre-conception, pregnancy, early postpartum, or months or years postpartum – in order to help then meet their treatment goals and ultimately get back to the activities in which they find fulfillment.
